It depends. You do not need to report the income as rental income if the tenant stayed there for 14 days. However, since you received a 1099 from the property management company, you are obligated to report the income.  Here is my suggestion for reporting this. instead of reporting this as Schedule E income, please do the following.

 

  1. Log into or open your account
  2. Select Wages and income>other income
  3. Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099>start
  4. Scroll to the bottom of the page to Other Reportable Income
  5. Other taxable income, answer yes
  6. Then give a brief description of the income and the amount listed on the 1099.
